Travelling with my family from Germany to Switzerland by train. The voice over the speakers said we were entering Zurich and then the rest of the message was incoherent due to static. The train comes to a complete stop, just about everyone in the car gathers up their belongings and I am the first off the train onto the platform. A line of people right behind me, I turn to wait for the rest of my family only to see the train pulling away. Carrying about four bags, I'm running along side the train but I can't get back on because there's some idiot woman just standing in the door. I'm at full speed now just as the train is getting out of reach when my sister grabs the woman and drags her out of the way. I grabbed the railing and pulled myself in right as the platform ended. Turned out the stop was an old factory complex and the train had just stopped to let the tracks ahead clear. To tell you the truth, it would have been a better story if I had to wander the city trying to find my family.
